Lunchtime Slurp: Extra Terrestrial Dessert

When it comes to food, the adventurous side of me springs up from within and steers me away from the familiar, no spaghetti bolognese, caesar salad and chocolate cake, bring on the weird and the unidentifiable! Innards, not your typical animal meat, strangely shaped fruits and vegetables, bring them on! Dessert today is visually fascinating. "Black pearl" eyeballs slapped into a tub of icy vanilla milk, gobs of mango and banana bobbing alongside chewy transparent bits and a handful of dried fruit. Ugly, delicious and only HK$26! I salute to the peculiar world of Asian dessert.
